Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige Believes Warner Bros. Has Finally Figured Out Its DC Films Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has found way more success than the DC Films Universe both critically and commercially but Kevin Feige now has nothing but good things to say about Warner Bros.' plans...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been around close to a decade but continues going from strength to strength. Based on the reviews and box office performance of every movie they release, Kevin Feige and company can seemingly do no wrong. Unfortunately, the same can't exactly be said for Warner Bros. and its DC Films. Just look at the differing responses to Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman!

In a recent interview to promote the release of Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked what the DC Films Universe must do to succeed and had a rather diplomatic answer.

"I don’t know," he confessed. "I’m not one to bestow advice onto others. I think you can look at what they did with ‘Wonder Woman’ and they’ve figured that out. I’ve got great confidence in Geoff Johns over there and now Joss Whedon helping them out that just makes me excited as a fan to see what’s next." The big test for Warner Bros. now will obviously be Justice League and whether or not Aquaman is able to reach the same heights as this summer's Wonder Woman movie critically and financially. 

Time will tell on that front but there's no denying that the DC Films Universe is in a much better position these days. After all, Joss Whedon has done a lot of work on Justice League and studio bosses finally seem to understand the best direction to take these comic book adaptations in. Thoughts?

I really hope they start making future movies with a similar tone as Wonder Woman. I really enjoyed that movie, despite some flaws.

Because no one remembers IM2 or The Incredible Hulk OR that even Cap1 didn't set the world on fire.

Some might think fair play, some that why would he even bother with an agonizing wannabe competitor

Sometimes the best way to predict the future is to work out all the possible scenarios and assign probabilities, discovering that some of the possibilities actually create an interference pattern (such that for X to be likely, Y must be unlikely, or that both X and Y being likely is unlikely, so Z becomes more likely). That sort of thing.

Other times, the best way to predict the future is to ask yourself, "what would be the most dramatic outcome from a historical viewpoint?", because I tend to find that history's view of the past is dramatic, and by putting yourself into the mindset of a future historian, you can (perhaps subconsciously) read the present more accurately than simply reading the news. I tend to think of this as a kind of "Predictive Irony".

I said about a year ago that the most dramatic (and therefore potentially plausible) outcomes of this year is that the DCEU basically collapses with Justice League, but in order to make that collapse more poignant, Wonder Woman (and/or Aquaman) would actually have ended up good. And while that hasn't completely played out, it is still looking possible. (Keep in mind, when I said this, Ben Affleck was still insisting he was writing and directing Batman.) Yes, Gadot's Wonder Woman gets more movies, but what about the DCEU as a whole?...

So... I dunno. I think Feige's sentiment here is reflecting a lot of people's view or at least hope. But that sentiment would be an ideally ironic prelude to it all going up in flames once more...
